FIG. 11 is a block diagram of a display device according to oneembodiment of the present specification. Blocks represented as beingseparated are depicted for elements of the display device in a manner ofbeing logically distinguished. Thus, the aforementioned elements of thedisplay device may be equipped with a single chip or a plurality ofchips.

FIG. 12 is a flowchart showing a method of capturing digital contentaccording to one embodiment of the present specification. The displaydevice may be able to display a digital content and a capturing window[S10]. As described in FIG. 1, if resolution of the display device islower than the resolution of the digital content, the display device maybe able to display a part of the digital content only. As described inFIG. 2, the display device may be able to display a capturing window ina manner of overlapping the digital content. The capturing window may beable to indicate an area for which the display device is going tocapture. As described in FIG. 3, at least one of a size, shape, and aposition of the capturing window can be modified by a control input.

The display device may be able to detect a first control input for aninside of the capturing window or a second control input for an outsideof the capturing window [S20]. As described in FIG. 4 and FIG. 6, thedisplay device may be able to detect a position where a control input isinputted in the display unit using the sensor unit. The display devicemay be able to detect the control input using a resistive touch panel ora capacitive touch panel.

The display device may be able to judge which control input is inputtedamong the first and the second control input [S30]. If a control inputis detected on an inside of the capturing window, the display device maybe able to judge the control input as the first control input. If acontrol input is detected on an outside of the capturing window, thedisplay device may be able to judge the control input as the secondcontrol input. Although the control input detected on the inside of thecapturing window moves to the outside of the capturing window whilemaintaining a contact with the display unit, the display device may beable to judge the control input as the first control input. And,although the control input detected on the outside of the capturingwindow moves to the inside of the capturing window while maintaining acontact with the display unit, the display device may be able to judgethe control input as the second control input.

The display device may be able to move the digital content according tothe first control input [S40]. As described in FIG. 4 and FIG. 6, thedisplay device may be able to move the digital content according to amoving direction or a speed of the first control input. If a digitalcontent of higher resolution compared to the resolution of the displayunit is displayed, the display device may be able to display a notdisplayed part of the digital content in a manner of scrolling thedigital content.

The display device may be able to include the digital content, whichmoved to the inside of the capturing window by the first control input,in a capturing object [S50]. As described in FIG. 4 and FIG. 6, thedisplay device may be able to include a part of the digital content,which moved to the capturing window by the first control input, in thecapturing object. The display device captures one image in a manner ofcombining the parts of the digital content included in the capturingobject and may be able to store the captured image as an image file.

The display device may be able to move the digital content according toa second control input [S60]. As described in FIG. 6, the display devicemay be able to move the digital content according to a moving directionor a speed of the second control input. If a digital content of higherresolution compared to the resolution of the display unit is displayed,the display device may be able to display a not displayed part of thedigital content in a manner of scrolling the digital content.

The display device may be able to exclude the digital content, whichmoved to the inside of the capturing window by the second control input,from the capturing object [S70]. As described in FIG. 6, the displaydevice may be able to exclude a part of the digital content, which movedto the inside of the capturing window by the second control input, fromthe capturing object. The display device may be able to make the partsof the digital content, which are excluded from the capturing object,not to be included in an image file to be stored as well as a captureimage.

As mentioned in the foregoing description, the display device accordingto the present specification may be able to determine whether thedisplayed digital content is included in the capturing object accordingto a position on which a control input is detected. And, the displaydevice may be able to generate a capture image of higher resolutioncompared to the resolution of the display unit.

It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that variousmodifications and variations can be made in the present specificationwithout departing from the spirit or scope of the inventions.
